The summer of 2025 has not yet delivered all its secrets, but one of them may well shake the French football planet. Paul Pogba, long hoped in Marseille, should not finally settle down. The former French international, back of suspension, is about to relaunch his career in Ligue 1 … but in another elite club. After months of speculation, a credible track finally stands out for the 2018 world champion.

According to Foot Mercato, Pogba was offered to AS Monaco. The princely club, looking for an element of experience and quality to strengthen its midfield, has not yet decided, but the idea is making its way. Pogba, 32, could bring technical, leadership and media influence to an ambitious team. The challenge would be ideal for a player wishing to find the very high level. It remains to be seen whether Monaco will accept the salary requirements of the ex-Red Devil.

Not OM! Pogba offered to another Ligue 1 club

After two years of hell between injuries, suspension for doping and judicial torments, Pogba never planned to hang up. He said no to Saudi Arabia, MLS, and even South American clubs. His goal? A final strong adventure in Europe, with a real sports project. For a long time, his eyes turned to OM, his heart club, but the finances of the Marseille club did not follow.

Pogba, last chance or rebirth?

Trained in Le Havre, revealed to Juve, Pogba has never played in Ligue 1. A paradox that this return could repair. And if some still doubt his ability to regain his level, others bet on his pride, his intact technique and his fierce will to silence criticism. AS Monaco, by its calm and its stability, could offer it the ideal cocoon.

For Pogba, time is running out, but history is far from over. The man with 91 selections among the Blues wants to close his career with panache. And even if it is not at the Vélodrome, it may be on the rock that “the draw” will be reborn. One thing is certain: his return to Ligue 1 will not go unnoticed.
